How Uler Got Its Name
The name "Uler" has an interesting story! When people first wanted to set up a post office there, they suggested the name "Eulah." However, there was a mistake made by the postal service. The name was accidentally spelled "Uler" instead. This spelling error was never fixed, and so the community has been called Uler ever since.
